Watson Indy - KensRedZed - 3rd-Jun-23

It's time to dust off the machinery. It's been too long. I need to make a new class of car (Indy-500) with a front motor drive system. The Watson Indy was a great car in it's day.

It originally started out as a static kit from AMT.

I found a really cool metallic orange 1:1 version on Google images.

The project begins with Tamiya metallic orange.

Clear coat next. Then the chassis. More to follow.

Cheers,
Ken

Thank you very kindly, Kevan and Carver.

It was around 19 degrees celcius yesterday, and zero wind. A perfect opportunity to clear-coat the dull metallic orange.

Now it needs a chassis.

Nice...and not a normal everyday car seen on race night.

Several years ago the Toronto Canada area clubs' raced a class based on he EJ's  Hobbies Watson roadster kit,.....the kit consisted of a nicely molded clear plastic body, with a gorgeous 4 livery decal sheet, and a decent (if basic) brass chassis,..........most of the quick guys binned the stock chassis and built a brass/wire chassis.

Here is one of the few cars I built for that class.

Cheers
